I do like -j. Its other common meaning, --jobs, does not apply here,
and it’s a lower case letter, hence easier to type.
I don’t like -y. This is almost like the --yes (do not ask) option many
commands have, and naively this could be the opposite of --interactive.
I’m neutral on the upper case letters.
Now let’s see if someone with time comes along to implement this...
